Only son's First Birthday?

What is typicly done for a baby's first birthday without scareing him? Are there things that most families do? I have no idea what they like as a celebration without making them afraid.
Any sugestions?

I can’t really in depth remember my any three of my nephews birthdays, although generally the family was around, making it sort of like a tea-party, and gave gifts, let them have the time to open up themselves (even if it took forever!) rather than rushing, allowing them to enjoy the pleasure of ripping paper after all it’s the one of the two only times in the year they can do it and get away with it without getting in trouble!
When is it the little one’s birthday? Happy early birthday and anniversary of birth for yourself! :P
